![Birthday]()
Thank you, everyone, for your birthday wishes! I'm truly grateful and touched by all the warm messages. Celebrating my birthday brings me so much joy, even though I must admit I'm not particularly thrilled about the aging part. But hey, aging is inevitable, right? Let's focus on the positive moments and the memories we create.
I hope each and every one of you has an amazing day ahead. Your kind words have already made mine special. Cheers to life and making the most of every moment!

![Next Japan Trip]()
I just came back from Japan last Staurday but I already booked my next Japan trip.
It will be from October 22 (Sunday) to Novermber 5 (Sunday).
This will be my 5th Japan travel since Japan has opened its door, after the Covid lockdown, last October. I don't usially travel this much to Japan but I am trying everything I can to reestabish and create new relationships with Japanese vendors and parners. I believe noting really moves forward without face-to-face meetings.

Individual Responsibility
When I first started working a long time ago, someone told me today's youth have gotten weaker. They used to work hard in a much harsher working environment. Such was the case with me back then. I worked from morning until midnight, and we all went out drinking after work. There were times when we missed the last train and we stayed at the office, or we all stayed at a hotel. I’m not trying to say they were right, but it was just the norm back then. There was no such thing as "working overtime”. And I didn't even think about separating my work life from my personal life. But if I didn't, I wouldn't have been part of the team. That’s why there weren’t any promotions, and I think it’s also why creating female managers was hard.
But the company didn’t dictate these decisions. They were my own. Everything was the world of the company and I was working within it. And that’s how it was supposed to be. I didn't even feel like I was working overtime.
However, these days, thinking that way is wrong, and the company and employees are two separate things. I believe this is an American way of thinking that has spread to Japan and the rest of the world. This has since led to the idea that a company is a company, and an individual is an individual, and politics has the role of regulating the company and protecting its employees.
We live in a time where society’s, companies’, and individuals’ roles are becoming increasingly clear, but we can’t forget that workers keep society and companies running. Society uses regulation to control the company, and the company uses people according to that regulation. Is this really the way to achieve teamwork? I sometimes wonder, but perhaps it is outdated to feel that way.

I believe that in order to create a successful business, you need:
(1) A quality product
(2) Effective marketing and sales efforts
(3) Strong customer support
Without any one of these elements, you're likely to face failure.
成功するビジネスを築くためには、次の要素が必要です：
(1) 優れた製品
(2) 効果的なマーケティングと販売活動
(3) 強力な顧客サポート
これらの要素が一つでも欠けると、失敗を目の前にすることになります。

![Japanese lunch with a client]()
Indulging in a delightful Japanese-style luncheon with my esteemed client was a truly exquisite experience. The centerpiece of this culinary delight was none other than the revered Hitsumabushi. Originating from the vibrant city of Nagoya in the Aichi Prefecture, Hitsumabushi is a splendid creation featuring succulent grilled eel harmoniously paired with fragrant rice. Its allure lies in the art of savoring it through three distinct approaches, each adding a layer of nuance to the dining encounter.
Complementing this culinary masterpiece were additional delights – an assortment of Tempra and Sashimi, accompanied by a selection of thoughtfully crafted small dishes. This ensemble created a symphony of flavors, showcasing the finest in Japanese gastronomy.
The Hitsumabushi tradition was elegantly upheld at the Hiarakawa Restaurant, nestled within the exquisite confines of Hotel Endonds in Tokyo. This establishment's commitment to authenticity and excellence ensured that the meal was a journey into the heart of Japanese culture and cuisine.

Those are the pictures from the train ride to Narita Airport and until the boarding to the Japan Airline. The direct flight is less than 9 hours and flying on business class make it so easy. I slept well on the plane but I still needed to sleep more ehan I got back.
I think arriving back in Seattle on Staurday was a good idea. I have whole Sunday to recover.

My Business Trips to Japan
My business trip to Japan, which starts in Seattle on August 11, is only a few days away. And on August 26, I’ll return to Seattle on a nonstop flight from Narita. It’s been ten months since Japan opened its long-standing Covid-19 lockdown last October. Since then, I’ve gone to Japan for business trips once every two months.
Although it was difficult entering Japan at first, it’s easier now since they’ve removed the requirement of negative Covid tests and proof of vaccination.
Japan’s prices have also become more expensive, but its price increase is still slower compared to the U.S., and Japan’s tourism has improved because of how weak Yen has become. In addition to that, Americans see Japan as a clean and safe place.
I don’t like that so many foreigners come to Japan, but I guess it’s still financially important for Japan’s tourism industry. I, on the other hand, tend to look for places where many foreigners don’t go.
On my business trips to Japan, I talked to many people, so thank you very much. I’d love to get to know more people; you don’t even have to work in the same industry. I’d love to talk to people from various businesses to broaden my knowledge. We look forward to hearing from you.

When you order a cup of coffee for 700 yen .. then you can add a toast, boiled egg and a cup of soup for 60 yen. The total is 760 yen ... which is about $5.50. In Japan, you usually do not hetr refill for your drink.

I went out for breakfast this morning. Initially, I planned to visit a convenience store like 7-Eleven, but I couldn't locate any in the vicinity of my current location. As a result, I opted to visit Shinagawa Station, renowned as one of Tokyo's busiest rail stations.
The sheer volume of people disembarking from trains and bustling towards their offices was truly remarkable. Eventually, I decided to have my breakfast at the Isetan Department Store within Shinagawa Station. I enjoyed a hot dog, a donut, and an iced coffee, all for the price of 850 yen, which is approximately $6.00.
